140	140	1 investigation involving the commission of a felony, that

160	160	21 adjudication or criminal conviction. The clerk shall deliver a
161	161	22 certified copy of the expungement order to the Illinois State
162	162	23 Police and the arresting agency. Upon request, the State's
163	163	24 Attorney shall furnish the name of the arresting agency. The
164	164	25 expungement shall be completed within 60 business days after

218	218	7 under this Act, except after 2 years following the subject

323	323	4 time the minor is released from custody, the youth officer, if
324	324	5 applicable, or other designated person from the arresting
325	325	6 agency, shall notify verbally and in writing to the minor or

330	330	11 a petition to expunge juvenile law enforcement and juvenile
331	331	12 court records obtained from the clerk of the circuit court.
332	332	13 (2.6) If a minor is referred to court, then, at the time of

334	334	15 supervision, the judge shall inform the delinquent minor of
335	335	16 the minor's rights regarding expungement and the clerk of the

337	337	18 to the minor, written in plain language, including information
338	338	19 regarding this State's expungement laws and a petition for
339	339	20 expungement, a sample of a completed petition, expungement
340	340	21 instructions that shall include information informing the
341	341	22 minor that (i) once the case is expunged, it shall be treated
342	342	23 as if it never occurred, (ii) the minor shall not be charged a
343	343	24 fee to petition for expungement, (iii) once the minor obtains

360	360	5 provided by law does not create a substantive right, nor is

429	429	3 (2) no petition for delinquency or criminal charges
430	430	4 were filed with the clerk of the circuit court relating to

437	437	11 interaction documented in the records.
438	438	12 (b) If the law enforcement agency is unable to verify
439	439	13 satisfaction of conditions (2) and (3) of this subsection
440	440	14 (0.1), records that satisfy condition (1) of this subsection
441	441	15 (0.1) shall be automatically expunged if the records relate to
442	442	16 an offense that if committed by an adult would not be an

465	465	3 law enforcement record created:
466	466	4 (1) prior to January 1, 2018, but on or after January
467	467	5 1, 2013 shall be automatically expunged prior to January

471	471	9 1, 2023; and
472	472	10 (3) prior to January 1, 2000 shall not be subject to
473	473	11 the automatic expungement provisions of this Act.
474	474	12 Nothing in this subsection (0.15) shall be construed to
475	475	13 restrict or modify an individual's right to have the person's
476	476	14 juvenile law enforcement records expunged except as otherwise
477	477	15 may be provided in this Act.
478	478	16 (0.2)(a) Upon dismissal of a petition alleging delinquency
479	479	17 or upon a finding of not delinquent, the successful
480	480	18 termination of an order of supervision, or the successful
481	481	19 termination of an adjudication for an offense which would be a
482	482	20 Class B misdemeanor, Class C misdemeanor, or a petty or

484	484	22 automatically order the expungement of the juvenile court
485	485	23 records and juvenile law enforcement records. The clerk shall
486	486	24 deliver a certified copy of the expungement order to the
487	487	25 Illinois State Police and the arresting agency. Upon request,

501	501	3 (b) If the chief law enforcement officer of the agency, or
502	502	4 the chief law enforcement officer's designee, certifies in
503	503	5 writing that certain information is needed for a pending
504	504	6 investigation involving the commission of a felony, that
505	505	7 information, and information identifying the juvenile, may be
506	506	8 retained until the statute of limitations for the felony has
507	507	9 run. If the chief law enforcement officer of the agency, or the
508	508	10 chief law enforcement officer's designee, certifies in writing
509	509	11 that certain information is needed with respect to an internal
510	510	12 investigation of any law enforcement office, that information
511	511	13 and information identifying the juvenile may be retained
512	512	14 within an intelligence file until the investigation is
513	513	15 terminated or the disciplinary action, including appeals, has
514	514	16 been completed, whichever is later. Retention of a portion of

516	516	18 remainder of a juvenile's record from immediate automatic
517	517	19 expungement.
518	518	20 (0.3)(a) Upon an adjudication of delinquency based on any

521	521	23 order the expungement of the juvenile court and law
522	522	24 enforcement records 2 years after the juvenile's case was
523	523	25 closed if no delinquency or criminal proceeding is pending and

537	537	3 minor to the Department of Juvenile Justice, the juvenile
538	538	4 court judge shall schedule a date to enter the automatic

540	540	6 required to be present for the scheduled court date when
541	541	7 automatic expungement is to be ordered. If the minor is not yet
542	542	8 eligible on the originally scheduled date, the court shall
543	543	9 schedule a subsequent date to enter the automatic expungement
544	544	10 order. The clerk shall deliver a certified copy of the
545	545	11 expungement order to the Illinois State Police and the
546	546	12 arresting agency. Upon request, the State's Attorney shall
547	547	13 furnish the name of the arresting agency. The expungement
548	548	14 shall be completed within 60 business days after the receipt
549	549	15 of the expungement order. In this subsection (0.3),
